Question of the Day: What Are You Wearing Today?

Unless you make a habit of reading inane agitprop cranked out by people like Mike “The Gun Guy” Weisser, you’re probably blissfully unaware that the hoplophobic harpies at Moms Demand Action have randomly declared today is Wear Orange Day. Why? To oppose “gun violence.” Because orange means safety. Or something. Really, who the hell can tell what the thought process there was? Whatever the case, commenter FlaResident wrote the following about the sartorial selection he’s making today: “I’m wearing my ENDO ‘Keep calm and carry one‘ shirt to work to make it clear to anyone wearing orange which side I am on” . . .

As a side note, I was wearing the same shirt a couple of days ago while traveling. I’m standing at baggage claim waiting for my bag and a 20-something young lady walks up beside me about four feet away. I couldn’t see the front of her shirt and she couldn’t see the front of mine. I turned to face her direction because I saw my bag coming down the conveyor and she turned my direction as she struggled to get her bag off the conveyor.

As she looked over at me I saw a look that was a cross between a Billy Idol “White Wedding” sneer and a “Who stepped in dog crap?” look. She then made sure and turned her back to me and took a step away (even though the exit was behind me), so that I could see the big Demanding Moms logo on the back of her shirt, before she whipped around and walked briskly by.

I would never dream of giving the same “I wish you were dead” look to someone who hasn’t said a word to me, just because I disagree with what’s on their t-shirt, but yet that’s not the first time I’ve had the other side act like it’s their duty to do so. I guess besides not teaching gun safety, the Moms also don’t teach manners.

Man, what a NON-event this is. So far I got a thanks for the tip on my breakfast burrito, had a nice conversation with the guy at GameStop about my Beretta and carry holsters and the checkout lady at PetCo liked my shirt. I saw two guys who looked like road crew in orange safety vests and another two in bright orange shirts spraying weeds along the side of the road. Not one single person wearing orange for GVAD and no shock, horror or blood in the streets. If anyone is campaigning for Everytown out this way they’re harder to spot than Waldo….

Our Church has been selling Orange T-shirts to shom solidarity with the victims of ISIS. Orange because of the way they make their victims wear orange jumpsuits when they behead them. Of course, it has some biblical quotations on it and indicates it’s purpose.

As to what I’m wearing, business attire shirt and tie which I’ll also be wearing after work due to attending a high school graduation immediately after leaving here.

Here in Austin, so-called liberal hellhole (not so much in my experience) there’s not a bit of orange in sight as I look all around the western part of the city. If they were smart, they’d wait until the ‘horns were in the championship and THEN declare wear orange day for some serious astroturf support action!

This whole “wear orange” thing reminds me of when the gay rights group at OSU declared a certain Tuesday to be “wear denim” day to show support for gay rights. One guy who hadn’t heard about it was passing through the quad when he saw their booth and sign; he stopped, stripped off his jeans right there, and started walking again.

Some of us made the point that while they have free speech, and we even supported their cause, they don’t get to decide what other people’s freedom of expression means. It took until late in the day when the very small number of people wearing anything denim by then became evident; word had gotten around about the one guy, and people were changing out of denim between classes, not because they didn’t support gay rights but because they didn’t like being hijacked to “support” a cause.

I almost grabbed my usual orange Carhartt shirt today until I remembered this idiocy.

Same black suit, same white shirt. Same Ruger in my holster, same Smitty on my left ankle. Just another Tuesday in south Florida.
I am in a high end retail shopping mall………and as of 13:15 I have seen NO orange………..yet.

Most Ammosexuals think they are Rambo but in reality couldn’t hit the broad side of the proverbial barn. Maybe innocent civilians wearing orange will allow some lugnut to focus enough that another state will take away those “rights” to own assault rifles.

If you honestly believe that your demonstrably uninformed opinion represents the majority of the country, you are every bit as naive as you knowingly falsely accuse me of being. Either that, or you are a liberal in California. But, that would be redundant.

I’m wearing a geeky Aperture Laboratories shirt. Not everyone gets the reference, but I don’t care.

Before anyone asks, no, it’s not orange.

I haven’t seen anyone besides utility workers wearing orange today, either. Like I’ve said before, I’d only be wearing orange today if I went hunting. I’m not.

Another cheesy, misguided fad that will no doubt be artificially inflated with close-up, narrow and carefully-cropped photos to hide the enormous gaps in the “crowds” of participants that they want to believe will be filled with people, but in reality are filled with uncaring and nonchalance of a public that is increasingly turned off by their vitriolic bile and venom. A cheesy, misguided fad that will surely be forgotten by the mainstream before dinner time tonight, and be dropped into the abyssal annals of mediocrity when the so-called “impact” of such a droll “statement” will be measured at precisely zero. A cheesy, misguided fad that is no doubt covering for the illogical and paranoia-addled musings of hyper-partisan lemmings doing the bidding of billionaire bully-boys who have bought their opinions and their thoughts lock, stock, and barrel.

I’m thinking something more along the lines of off-brand “pasteurized cheese product”, elsewise known as “singles”. No, not even Kraft singles, but the cheap, generic stuff that tastes more like plastic (especially when melted).

“She then made sure and turned her back to me and took a step away (even though the exit was behind me), so that I could see the big Demanding Moms logo on the back of her shirt, before she whipped around and walked briskly by.”

Wow, someone who has seen one in the wild, outside of a 12 mom Kroger protest.

Orange, like gitmo prisoners and ISIS captives. Seems appropriate for these people. If they had their way, they’d one day end up as one or the other, perhaps while having an epiphany that perhaps they were wrong.

“I would never dream of giving the same “I wish you were dead” look to someone who hasn’t said a word to me, just because I disagree with what’s on their t-shirt, but yet that’s not the first time I’ve had the other side act like it’s their duty to do so.”

You would have done the same thing to her, if you were as certain as she was that you were looking at a baby-killing maniac.

Saw some woman riding the “L” with sign saying “Assault Weapons don’t belong in a civilized Society” Since she looked a little uncomfortable anyway I didn’t feel the need to disabuse her of her of her fallacy.

and I havent seen any thing in our media about it either. Chiraq and the Hawks are taking center stage.

Using the MDA/Everytown rules of engagement, I’ve declared today to be eat BBQ for gun rights day in Austin. Apparently, THOUSANDS have joined me to eat BBQ in support of 2A rights. By MDA standards there’s at least 200 here with me now.

I’m impressed that you actually saw an MDA “mom” in the wild. They’re a rare breed that only comes out when they smell the blood of a victim to stand on. Their population used to be greater, but then Twitter purged a lot of their fake accounts.

As was mentioned above, hijacking people’s clothing choices to inflate support for your cause is real dickish. I’m especially peeved as an SF Giants fan. I wouldn’t be surprised if used a shot from an Orange Friday at the park to say “Look! Millions think guns are icky!”. I’m also reminded of nonsense after the Zimmerman trial, when I was wearing a hooded sweatshirt at work and was praised for supporting Travyon Martin. That guy received my best “What are you retarded?” look, and a stern “No.”

another thought. line drawings or the outline of full auto/ m16 hammer and disconnector. probably not the trigger because that might be too recognizable as a gun part. also could have a shirt that has just the selector lever of an ak. or the profile or another view of an hk rear sight.

Live and work in the bay area, CA. Been from union city to oakland and points in between (driver by trade). Seen exactly 1 orange outfit. A person with a white cane and red tip wearing a blaze orange hoody with a lime green reflective vest waiting at a bus stop.

Despite what these moms saw on Netflix, orange is NOT the new black. I don’t know any desirable women that would be caught dead in orange. Of course, I’m sure they will post a cropped photo showing 3 idiots wearing orange

Blue and green…they made a big deal outa’ this BS on WGN news. Had mom and dad of the girl who danced for odumbo. Conveniently left out was the punkazz who shot the girl was on probation after pulling a LOADED GUN on Chiraq’s finest boys in blue…duh…sigh.

I am pleased that the anti-2nd amendment folks have decided to let everyone know who they are. Now, if we can convince all Progressives to wear similar clothing, perhaps brown shirts with red arm bands, I would be happy.

I didn’t even think about it. Apparently I’m not alone, I haven’t seen an orange shirt all day. I expect it will be a “thing” in some blue-tinged cities, and will get hyper-inflated “news” coverage somewhere–but it ain’t here. I would think the local gun-grabbers would be wearing black after what happened to them in the state capitol this week.

“She then made sure and turned her back to me and took a step away (even though the exit was behind me), so that I could see the big Demanding Moms logo on the back of her shirt, before she whipped around and walked briskly by.”

I’m halfway thinking about dressing up nice, open carrying, and going to Walmart and find some clueless twat wearing orange….you know, just accidentally get noticed…just to be a douche bag.
Like Blazing Saddles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZF_zPkWbhY

Just goes to show how “successful” their marketing campaign is: I’ve only ever heard about this “Wear Orange” campaign through TTAG. Even on facebook, where I know of at least a handful of people who seem the type to share it, I’ve seen not a thing.

I don’t even own any orange shirts. When you only wear black, everything matches.

I wore a blue shirt today, and forwarded an email to my wife about a local range’s full auto event. I didn’t even know about the wear orange thing until the afternoon and didn’t see anybody wearing Orange either.

My post was featured in a TTAG conversation starter post, my mama would be so proud! It’s like winning the Noble Peace Prize, or at least it would be if the Nobel actually meant squat, so in reality I guess actually it is better 🙂 I was traveling on business yesterday and was in SoCalifornistan (L.A.) and I’ve got to say that I don’t think I saw anyone wearing orange or even anything “orangish” The guys at the facility I was at, know I’m a “gun guy” so I expected no issues there but I’ve got to say that even when I went out to dinner and to the airport all I got were a couple “cool shirt” comments.
